Description

Materials for Sustainability Analysis Facility. This project aims to commission two instruments for characterising materials used in sustainable technologies: a state-of-the art photo-induced force microscopy and infrared spectroscopy system (PiF-IR) and a benchtop electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer. Neither of these critical instruments are currently available in South Australia. This project expects to introduce these capabilities to enhance diverse projects in sustainable materials. Expected outcomes include new discoveries in materials for solar cells, rechargeable batteries, sorbents for pollution control, and recyclable materials. Significant benefits are anticipated for fundamental material science with follow on benefits to industry and the environment.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 4004 - Chemical Engineering. Lead: A/Prof Zhongfan Jia
